Alexandra plays Mel Monroe on Virgin River

Earlier this month, the 40-year-old revealed on social media that their suitcases had been taken from them while travelling from the States to Canada. But, fortunately, the family managed to locate the bags and were soon reunited with their items.

"Ladies and gentlemen of Instagram. You're not gonna believe this. We got our bags back. I'm in shock," she said at the time. "The police in Vancouver [did an] incredible job, they followed the air tags, they found the bags. They got a warrant based on the Airtags and video footage that they had of the perpetrators taking the bags from the airport and getting into a vehicle.

"And they tracked it and we're very grateful. All of our kids' stuff is back, and the kids' stuff doesn't smell like smoke, but the rest of my husband's stuff smells of smoke."
